I was born and raised in Southern California, and I became interested in electrical and computer engineering after developing a strong passion for music technology. When experimenting with digital synthesizers and audio effects, I was fascinated by the mathematics that made all of the signal processing possible. I went on to study engineering at Brown University, along with playing lacrosse on the club team and being a part of the Brown Space Engineering club. Now, at UC Berkeley, I am working on a project with Professor Anant Sahai that studies deep learning models from a signal processing perspective.
